A week in Västervik

I’m in Vastervik ca 150 km N of Kalmar. We’re doing an archaeological survey combined with search trenches. A beautiful hillside facing the waterfront – the the hillside is just cramped with stones. I had somewhat forgotten the amount of stone that can be found in Smalandic hills. Hopefully we’ll find something other than untouched moraine🙂

Welcome

Hello and welcome to Testimony of the spade.

My name is Magnus Reuterdahl and I am a Swedish archaeologist and osteologist. Most posts are connected to my work or my interests in general; Scandinavian archaeology, osteology, cultural heritage, literature and so forth.

On the blog Aqua Vitae (in Swedish) and Testimony of a wine (in English) junkie I blog on wine.
